Can an employer charge their employees if they break something? If they order the wrong food or drinks?

Under the Pennsylvania Wage Collection and Payment Law, an employer generally cannot make pay deductions in that manner unless the employee consented to it in writing or through a collective bargaining agreement (for employees in a union). The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry enforces this law and accepts complaints from employees. An attorney in your area may also be able to help.

This is generally not allowed. It is often threatened by employers however. Once you see the money actually being removed from your check, you should make sure to speak with a local attorney.
